Top 10 Largest Commercial SSDs
Commercial SSDs scaled from 16 GB (2008) to 100+ TB (2024) over 15 years — a 6,000x growth. Most consumer SSDs are 1-4 TB; data-center drives reach much higher.
| # | Name | Capacity (TB) | Unit |

| 2 | Nimbus Data ExaDrive DC 100TB | 100 | TB |
| 3 | Samsung BM1743 61.44TB | 61.44 | TB |
| 4 | Solidigm D5-P5336 30.72TB | 30.72 | TB |
| 5 | Samsung PM1733a 30.72TB | 30.72 | TB |
| 6 | Western Digital DC SN840 30.72TB | 30.72 | TB |
| 7 | Micron 6500 ION 30.72TB | 30.72 | TB |
| 8 | OWC Mercury Extreme Pro 16TB | 16 | TB |
| 9 | Kioxia CD8 15.36TB | 15.36 | TB |

SSD Storage Trends
SSD density doubles roughly every 2 years, similar to Moore’s Law. NAND flash technology has progressed from 2D to 3D stacking (200+ layers in 2024) to fit more bits.
Solidigm (formerly Intel) leads enterprise SSD capacity with 122TB in 2024. Nimbus Data’s 100TB ExaDrive (2018) was the first commercially available 100TB SSD.
Consumer SSDs max out at 8TB for typical desktop use. Higher capacities exist (16TB+) but cost prohibitively scales with data center buyers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Largest SSD available?
Solidigm D5-P5336 at 122TB (2024). Nimbus Data ExaDrive DC was earlier at 100TB.
Will SSDs replace HDDs?
Mostly yes for performance and laptops. HDDs persist for cheap mass storage (data center backups, archival) due to cost-per-TB.
How long do SSDs last?
Modern SSDs are rated for 5-10 years with normal use (300-600 TBW for 1TB drives).
Why is iPhone storage so much smaller?
Mobile storage is more constrained physically and uses NAND optimized for power efficiency over capacity.
Note: SSD capacity in TB per manufacturer specifications.
